Looked around and haven't found any updated info for this years rally. Should I be on the lookout for an email or how are we being notified of plans and/or changes? Just over three weeks to OTG2 and would like to start the planning process.

I'm sad to let y'all know that we are not going to make the trip to the OTG Rally this year. Lots of little things combined make it not really feasible. A large out of pocket medical expenses for tests for what turned out to be nothing. A longer outbound trip to Seattle this year. (Which is a good thing. Claire wants to see the sites rather than just get to school.) Not taking her car to Seattle, so we'll be over-packed with apartment stuff, again. Packing camping gear in addition to her stuff just isn't practical.
I'm sure that we're going to miss a fabulous time, but I look forward to exploring more of the PNW, too. @maktruk , I put in a good word to @Corrie about the tickets being held for us.

@r1_iceman You have the address of the camp and when to show up. That's about all you need as there will be a registration when you pull in to the group sites. I suggest you bring plenty of smiles because your going to have a blast!!!!!
If changes do occur you/we are on a master e-mail list that would get sent out for info.
Look forward to seeing you both!!!!

Right? I've made more friends and acquaintances through this forum in the last year that I need to connect with right now that if I don't get in I'm gonna pull a Burning Man stunt and parachute in.
I appreciate that. A lot. Sounds like you were on the fence I hope my post didn't push you over any particular direction. I'd hate to think you missed something on my account...

Great suggestions!! We are including an official Vendor Village this year, and we have companies lined up as sponsors with the ability to sell directly to attendees. I'll DM you to hear more on what you're thinking!
And.... YES to your class idea. I've had a couple side discussions with folks, and because a good number of attendees consider themselves noobs, we're thinking of running a few 30-45 minute 'Intro to the Trail' sessions on Friday. Go over the basics. Start folks off on the good foot.
(We are still developing the Overland Bound Bootcamp series, btw! We want the immersive intensive format to be lead by the best, and it's going to take more time for us to make it right.)
Also, we are segmenting attendees into teams with designated start times for running the trail on Saturday. We're mixing in vets with rookies, and the goal is to have every driver supported on the trail.
I'm at Camp Edison/Shaver Lake right now casing the joint. The group site is big, gorgeous and my heart just about burst open imagining everyone all together.
It's happening!! :D
